K1600GT Buid 2014 Engine Fault Misfire

I believe you're absolutely correct on the cylinder and firing order. I just don't like how the GS-911 reports it. BMW diags tells you which cylinder is missing. Simple and you don't have any possiblities of making a mistake. Thanks for the response.

The firing patter is 1-5-3-6-2-4. I had coil 2 and 4 that were failing and if you look at the report I believe coil 4 is cylinder 4 but 6th in firing order. Coil 2 is cylinder 5 but is the 2nd in the firing order. I wish the firmware reporting was clearer. Why can't it report which cylinder is misfiring without the notes such as coil 2 is cylinder 5 or cylinder 2 left on a boxer. BMW replaced coils on cylinders 4 and 5 and after getting my bike back I got 3 hits on coil 2 within 20 miles. BMW said they trusted their 5k dollar diagnostic reader over a 400 dollar tester. Don't know what to do after paying about 600 dollars and still have an engine fault light on.

Coil number and cylinder number are synonymous.  Looking at the highlighted portion of your comment above, you are correct in saying that coil 4 is cylinder 4 and 6th in firing order.  How then do you in the next sentence change the complete logic and state that coil 2 is cylinder 5?  Coil 2 is NOT cylinder 5.  Coil 2 is cylinder 2, but firing 5th in the sequence.

It is actually quite simple.  Just ignore the "Xth in firing order"

In your case you had coils 2 and 4 failing.  So that would be cylinders 2 and 4.  i.e. 2nd from left and 4th from left.

I does look like it's not logical but here's my logic. In the printout if a cylinder number is not mentioned than coil # is cylinder #. BMW replaced the coils for cylinder 4 and 5. My print out said coil 4 and then coil 2 (cylinder 5). I don't like the report the GS-911 gives when reporting a bad coil because it leaves too much for interpretation in my opinion. The BMW mechanic said thery're diagnostic tool from BMW reported cylinders 4 and 5. I should write Mark Blomer of Hex Code again and ask for clarification again. His email is tfemark@gmail.com.

bmorrison00:
Oh by the way coil 4 does say in the report it's 6th in the firing order so it is cylinders 4 and 5.

Can you post a copy of said report from BMW?
